Asbestos removal across Brighton and Hove

Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Typical jobs include finds during refurbishment and old floor tiles and black adhesive, including gutters and downpipes, water tanks and cement soffits.

Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site.

Asbestos removal across Brighton and Hove

From Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill to small villages, Brighton and Hove has every kind of removal job. In towns, parking matters; in villages, access. Around 30 places in Brighton and Hove are close to the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.

Brighton: In a school like Fairlight Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. If you’re on or near the A23 and A259, tell us about parking and loading. We plan outdoor jobs in Brighton to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.

Responsibilities for owners

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Prices and what affects them

When we quote, we look at:

Access to the area
The quantity or area
The number of samples or the size of the building
The category of work

DIY and asbestos

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

What it might be made of

Floor tiles

Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.

Asbestos cement

Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.

Typical removal jobs in Brighton and Hove

Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.

Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:

Artex before plastering
Finds during refurbishment
Garage roofs and whole garages
Cement flues and gutters

FAQs for Brighton and Hove

Can asbestos go in my bin?

Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

When can you start?

Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.

Can you help with a shop or office?

Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

What if my house is newer?

Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

Do you cover Brighton and Hove?

Yes, we do: our area includes Brighton and Hove and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.

What does licensed work mean?

It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

Can you help with a flat?

Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
